Take a river cruise in the Kakadu National Park

Abundant wildlife and fascinating Aboriginal rock art in Australia’s largest national park, a World Heritage-listed wilderness. Covering more than 20,000 square kilometers, Kakadu National Park is a challenging place to appreciate in a short visit. Aim to allow a minimum of three days, and consider renting a 4WD or joining a 4WD tour. Try also to factor in a river cruise to get to more remote areas. The dry season months are the most popular times to visit, with little or no rain, acceptable humidity and temperatures, and conspicuous wildlife. Towards the end of the Dry, birdlife congregates around the shrinking waterholes, while November’s rising temperatures and epic electrical storms herald the onset of the Wet.

One of the most incredible sights in the Northern Territory is Kakadu National Park. This massive nature reserve is one of the best things to do in Australia and it is full of gorgeous sights and fun activities. You can go swimming in waterfalls, hiking through the bush, bird-watching in the wetlands, or canoeing along the rivers. There are massive canyons, deep gorges, walking trails, Aboriginal ancient rock art, cultural centers, and more within this national park. Kakadu National Park is Australia’s largest national park, and it is located only three hours away from Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory.
